Summary

We've thrown around the term insurrectionary anarchism in recent discussions, so in our ninth episode we seize the moment and dive headlong into this tendency, exploring where it came from and what it looks like today. We also review the classic Italian insurrectionary text Armed Joy; look back over a summer's worth of animal liberation actions; interview a supporter of the California Prison Hunger Strike, as it enters its 55th day; share some more listener feedback on nihilism, and plenty more. Tune in--the time to act is now!

And, of course, if you want to go straight to the source, read everything you can get your hands on by Alfredo Bonanno including the text we reviewed in this show’s Chopping Block, Armed Joy. Mad props to Jean Weir at Elephant Editions for all the work she’s done translating his writings over the years—and for generally being a total badass.

Thanks to the North American Animal Liberation Press Office for providing much of our news this episode. Extra-special thanks to our office jobs, who unknowingly paid us to read these articles. Extra-extra-special thanks to those combatants out there still risking life and limb for our non-human animal friends’ freedom.
